Archduke Francis Ferdinand, it is asserted, was well aware of the dan- ger he was running during his tour of Bosnia, which he undertook as in- spector general of the forces of the empire. This title was conferred up- on him last year by Emperor Francis Joseph. His chief task was to in- spect the Austrian army, which guard- ed the Servian frontier during the re- cent Balkan wars and prevented any encroachments by Servian troops. The Servian minister 'at Vienna told Archduke Francis Ferdinand of the peril of his’ visit to Sarajevo at the present time, and implored him even if he insisted on going there himself at least to leave the duchess at home. When the Duchess of Hohenberg was informed, however, of the dan- gerous nature of the journey the arch- duke was about to take, she said her place was at her husband’s side. Signs of Hostility Shown. When the archduke and the duchess arrived at Sarajevo Saf.rday some signs of hostility were shown by the Serb population. Just before the cou- ple passed through the city the _au- thorities succeeded in getting rid of a great display of Servian flags, which the people had hoisted instead of fly- ing the Austrian colors. : The bitterness of feeling, however, was carried to the extreme when at a session of the Bosnian diet, called to express sorrow at. the death of the archduke, four Servian deputies ap- peared in light suits in contrast to the somber black of their fellow depu- .ties. The plans of the assassins contem- plated, it is said, the blowing up of the royaF train, when the archduke and his wife were leaving Sarajevo, in case the attempt by Gavrio Prinzip failed. It is learned that several bombs were found along the Sarajevo rallway over which the archduke and his wife would have traveled. DETAILS OF THE SLAYING Was Second Altzmpt of the Day on Lives of Victims. Sarajevo, Bosnia, June 30.—A dou- ble tragedy was added to the long list in the reign of Emperor Francis Jo- seph of Austria when Archduke Fran- cis Ferdinand, heir to the throne, and his morganatic wife, the Duchess of Hohenberg, fell dead under a fusil- dade of bullets fired by Gavrio Prin- zip, an eighteen-year-old Servian stu- dent. Archduke Ferdinand and his wife left Vienna last Thursday for a tour of Bosnia and Herzegovina. They ‘were in the best of health and spirits. The double murder occurred while the royal party ‘was motoring through the streets of Sarajevo, the Bosnia capital, after attending a. re- ception at the town hall. It was the second attempt of the day on the archduke’s life, the first oceurring while he was going to the reception, when Nédeljo Gabrinovics, twenty-one years old, hurled a bomb filled with nails and Lits of lead at the royal car. The archduke saw the deadly missile coming through the air and warded it off with his arm. Archduke’s Aids Are Wounded. It exploded outside, slightly wound ing aids-detamp in a second car and a half dozen spectators.. The duchess tried to persuade her husband from venturing in the car again, but M; Potiorek, governor of Bosnia, Teas sured them with the remark: “It’s all over mnow.

This is altogether an amazing, indignity.” After a moment's pause he said: “Now you may speak.” After leaving the hall the archduke and duchess said they wished to visit the wounded members. of their suite at the hospital and were on their mis- sion of mercy when, at Rudolph and Franz-Josel streets, Prinzip began fir- ing.

MAY NOT SURVIVE LATEST TRAGEDY Aged' Emperor Francis Joseph in Failing Health, Vienna, June 30.—Careworn and feeble the aged Emperor Franz Jo- seph arrived here from the palace of Schoenbrunn. B The populace, massed at the sta- tion, gave him respectful greeting-in a tremendous demonstration. - Minis- ters Berchtold and Tisza met tire mon- arch and on his arrival at the palace he .immediately called a ministerial conference. Black flags float from all public buildings and from nearly all the houses. The greatest apprehension is felt that the emperor, weakened by his recent prolonged iliness, may not survive this latest, tragedy in his life, The heat here is terrific and debili- tating in the extreme to the aged ruler.
